Opera Launches Crypto Browser, Makes It Easier To Shop For NFTs
Opera has officially made its Web3 ‘Crypto Browser’ available for beta use, boasting a slew of new features that could come in handy for those ready to take on the metaverse.
Key features of the new browser include a built-in cryptocurrency wallet, more convenient access to NFT marketplaces, and support for decentralized apps (dApps). It aims to simplify the new era of the internet for users, as per Mashable.
“Too few of the web browsing experiences offered today have been built with the intention of putting Web3 centerstage and making blockchain technologies understandable and easy to use,” said Susie Batt, Opera’s Crypto Ecosystem Lead.
“Our belief is that the world of blockchain needs a fully dedicated browsing experience,” she added.
Holders of cryptocurrencies will be able to use the built-in wallet to store Ethereum, Bitcoin, Celo, and Nervos, with more partnerships expected in the near future. According to Engadget, this allows users to access their digital assets without needing additional extensions.
Buyers will also be able to directly purchase cryptocurrencies with fiat currency, exchange virtual currencies in the wallet, and check your balance as you go about your usual browsing.
Opera added in an extra secure clipboard measure that prevents third-party apps from accessing data you copy and paste.
“The Wide World of Web3 is now at your fingertips,” summed up Batt.
The public beta is now available for download on Windows, Mac, and Android.
